Michael MannGUEST

Michael MannGUEST
He was invested in this character from 1998 when he first walked in my office.

Michael MannGUEST
And what he was excited about was the visionary challenged by forces that would destroy him, and how, uh, uh, someone could occupy that position in the vanguard of his own life, just pushing himself and pushing himself to what's new, and at the same time, he's coexisting in a place where imagination and madness are right next to each other, and you could slip and slide from one into the other and not even know it.

Michael MannGUEST
And that's what's so dangerous about where he pushed himself to as he moved closer and closer to his sun, if you like.
